What are the inconveniences of traveling in America?

When you travel abroad, you should also find that foreign countries are completely different from domestic ones, and many foreign things are completely unsuitable. Perhaps the biggest problem in America is that there is no hot water, so friends can take compressed hot water bottles when traveling.

1, stomachache, drink cold water.

From breakfast to dinner, almost all are cold drinks, cold milk and cold water. I went to NYC once during MC, and used coffee machine to boil water in those days.

2. Books are expensive.

In America, knowledge is expensive, and books are expensive! In fact, I think books in other places are not cheap except China. Cherish cherish!

3, you have to pay taxes on everything!

Except for going to Oregon or several tax-free States, all expenses are subject to tax increase. Coffee is taxed, coke is taxed, clothing is taxed, and customs clearance is not taxed (unlike Europe).

4. There is no Taobao and no Alipay.

Although the United States is also a country where credit cards can be used everywhere, they are also called Taobao and Alipay in China! Compared with Taobao, Amazon has a small number of goods and little choice, so it can only be bought in physical stores. At this point, Taobao is really amazing!

5. Old infrastructure.

Most roads and bridges were built in 1950s and 1960s. Take my own subway trip to new york as an example. It has been built for too many years, and it is not well maintained! Even in Manhattan, the smell of urine and garbage is very serious, and you can often see big Mickey (mouse, not mouse! ! ! ) running around on the platform track!

6, insects are very big!

Speaking of mice and other bugs, they are very big and terrible! Because the ecology is better, the land is vast and the population is sparse, and some varieties are also very strange.

7. There are many street vagrants.

Due to the serious polarization between the rich and the poor. Like zombies, vagrants occupy every block of the city. The roadside is full of small tents, and the shops next to it are never open. Uber calls them "creations"

Thenight "(creatures that appear at night), some are mentally free (marijuana users). I met a lot in downtown SFO and LA, so girls still feel dangerous when they go back to the hotel at night.

Be sure to hide.

8. Business hours end early!

In China, the more you get off work at night, the more weekends and holidays, the more prosperous your business is. In the United States, perhaps because of the high overtime pay or the intervention of trade unions, businesses are open until 6 pm or 8 pm or at most 9 pm, restaurants are closed before 10, and the streets are dark at night and closed on holidays. Disappointed the tourists.

9, labor costs are expensive!

In America, anything involving labor is very expensive! For example, the most common tipping system, restaurant 15%-20%, take-away meal 10%-20%, buffet 1-$2 is given to waiters who clean up dishes and chopsticks, beauty salons, taxis10%-20.

-$ 10, hotel package cleaning, etc. $ 1-$2 per person, etc.

10, illegal gun possession, drug abuse.

To what extent is it flooding? With the legalization of marijuana in California, it is common to smell the sudden pungent smell of marijuana on the road. Sitting in the BAT of SFO, Uncle Hua's arm next door was covered with needle holes, and I was also scared.

After eating in any restaurant, I opened the door and saw two policemen opposite holding a man and a gun falling to the ground. Local friends told me that I seldom go to a big supermarket like Wal-Mart at night, and I often encounter armed robbery! ! !

1 1, no hot water. The most inconvenient thing is the hot water that everyone feels the same. The express hotel I stayed in didn't have a kettle, and it was not convenient to evaluate if I didn't stay in a high-end hotel. But ordinary express hotels will have coffee pots and microwave ovens. If you travel without a hot water kettle, it is recommended to bring a lunch box and kettle that can microwave, so that the basic needs of boiling water, making tea and instant noodles can be met. If you need hot water during your trip, you can go to a fast food restaurant, such as McDonald's, and the waiter will give you a large glass of hot water for free. We went all the way from the United States to China, and then to the United States and the West. Except for hotels in Las Vegas, which don't even have microwave ovens, China people in big cities charge for hot water at airports, and they can get hot water smoothly every day.

12, breakfast is monotonous and unpalatable. Still refers to the economy inn. Breakfast is basically iced milk, bitter coffee and sweet bread, which is very monotonous. Occasionally, there are boiled eggs, fruits, yogurt and cereal in the inn, but generally speaking, it is not suitable for China's stomach. It is suggested that you can prepare some fast food restaurants such as instant noodles or subway when passing by.

13, stop the car. It is easy to park in a small place. When you go to big cities, such as Las Vegas and Los Angeles, it will be difficult to find parking lots and parking spaces. It is also difficult to have parking spaces on the roadside. Don't leave it lying around, you will be punished if you don't pay.

14. Hotel daily necessities are mainly inns, which are not as complete as those provided in China. In some places, toothbrushes, toothpaste and shampoo are in short supply. It is recommended to bring your own daily necessities and slippers if it is convenient. Although the old and new hotels are different, they are all clean.

15, there is no online payment when you go out to pay or swipe your card;

16, it is difficult to eat delicious Chinese food. Chinese food and Asian food are much more expensive than local hamburger fast food. The improved American Chinese fast food restaurants, such as Pande and Gongbao, serve sweet and sour dishes that Americans like.

17, the shop closes early and there is no nightlife. I'm counting on going shopping and eating snacks at night. Forget it. Basically, the store is going to close at night.
